Chapter 2321: Chapter 2322: Crafting Souls (First Update)
"Oh? Since you’re not creating an elixir for resurrection, what exactly are you making here?" Xue An asked with a smile.
Cha Wenliang proudly lifted his head, "I am conducting an extremely great research. Once successful, it will overturn the entire Sky Beyond the Skies!"
"Can I take a look? I’m curious to know what kind of research is capable of overturning the entire Sky Beyond the Skies!" Xue An spoke eloquently.
Behind him, Ao Shu broke into a cold sweat for him.
She knew her master’s temperament too well, one wrong word might trigger his fury.
But unexpectedly, faced with Xue An’s question, Cha Wenliang didn’t get angry. Instead, he replied with great interest, "Do you really want to know?"
"Of course!"
"Alright, follow me!"
Cha Wenliang eagerly stepped down from the high platform and headed to the back.
Ao Shu was a bit stunned.
Xue An gave her a slight smile, "Come on! Let’s go witness your teacher’s great research."
With that, Xue An strode forward to follow.
Ao Shu looked at Xue An’s back with confusion.
She was puzzled as to why her usually temperamental and unpredictable master suddenly turned so agreeable with Xue An.
Only Xue An knew why.
In fact, though Cha Wenliang was eccentric, he was a simple person.
As long as you understood his temper and spoke to his liking, it was easy to get along with him.
Of course.
All this is premised on understanding him and knowing his thoughts.
Xue An happened to be able to do that, so with just a few words, he successfully caught Cha Wenliang’s interest.
The group followed Cha Wenliang to a corner of the backyard where a house stood. From the outside, it looked no different than usual.
Cha Wenliang proudly walked to the door, "Today, I will show you what truly great research is."
With that, he reached out and pushed the door open.
The entire process revealed no magic, showing the door was just an ordinary wooden door, without even the simplest protective inscriptions.
Including Ao Shu, everyone’s gaze instantly focused on the room behind the door.
Unexpectedly, the room was empty without any signs of anomaly.
Is this the so-called great research Cha Wenliang took pride in?
Just as everyone was confused, suddenly, a wisp of blue smoke began to waft inside the room.
The smoke quickly coalesced, transforming in the blink of an eye into a large, plump monster.
"Wow, so cute!" Ao Shu couldn’t help but exclaim.
Despite its massive size, the monster’s head took up ninety percent of its body, and its amusingly comical features made it look extremely cute.
But Cha Wenliang’s eyes were full of pride when he saw this monster, "Come!"
Upon hearing his command, the monster floated over to Cha Wenliang and clumsily uttered two words.
"Master!"
Cha Wenliang nodded contentedly, then turned to Xue An.
"Can you discern anything unusual?"
Xue An furrowed his brow, stared at the monster for a moment, then looked up sharply with a chillingly deep voice, "You’re creating a soul?"
This statement caused Yue Qinghuan to also change drastically in expression.
Cha Wenliang, however, laughed heartily, "Great observation, indeed! I am indeed creating a soul, and this is my most successful experiment to date!"
"How about it? Isn’t this the greatest research ever?" Cha Wenliang declared triumphantly.
But his question was met with silence.
For Xue An had also fallen into deep shock.
It’s known that souls are the most mystical and profound mysteries, and although many things can naturally develop intelligence over time, like the ginseng doll Ah Qi encountered earlier in the valley.
Such naturally born intelligence cannot compare to the inherent soul of the Human Clan.
This results in their cultivation being hundreds or thousands of times more difficult, while the Human Clan proudly claims themselves as the leader of all spirits.
Throughout history, many extraordinary talents have tried to unravel the secret of souls, but without exception, they all failed.
Moreover, they suffered extreme backlash, ending up miserably.
Eventually, scholarly work involving souls became a taboo, and no one dared to venture into it.
Unexpectedly, Cha Wenliang had the guts to not only research souls but also boldly attempt to create one, even successfully crafting an experimental model.
If word got out, it would undoubtedly cause a massive uproar.
Seeing the reaction of the crowd, especially Xue An’s silence, Cha Wenliang sneered.
"What’s wrong? Afraid? Your words earlier made me think you weren’t ordinary, but now it seems you are after all!"
With that, he turned with a disappointed look and coldly said, "Get out! You are no longer welcome here!"
From excitement to a change of face took mere seconds, illustrating Cha Wenliang’s unpredictability.
But Xue An didn’t leave; instead, he took a few steps forward towards the experimental model.
"Why aren’t you leaving? Do I have to forcibly expel you?" Cha Wenliang yelled coldly.
Xue An smiled, "Your experiment’s intelligence seems to only be at the level of a three-year-old child!"
"So what? At least it was crafted bit by bit by me, having consciousness already proves I’m on the right path, just lacking in technique!" Cha Wenliang retorted coldly.
"How long have you been stuck at this point?" Xue An asked again.
This time, Cha Wenliang’s expression turned awkward, "Um... ten years already!"
But he stubbornly added, "But I’ve recently made great progress and I’m close to succeeding!"
"Progress? Are you referring to the Pill Furnace that just exploded?" Xue An said, half-smiling.
At this, Ao Shu felt a jolt in her heart.
Oh no!
Given master’s temperament, how could he endure such a tone from Xue An?
Indeed.
Cha Wenliang’s expression changed drastically, murderous intent flaring in his eyes.
"Are you mocking me?"
Xue An remained unmoved, behaving as if the overwhelming hostility was just a breeze, blandly responding, "Of course not, I’m merely stating a fact!"
"Xue, you’d better leave before I change my mind, or I’ll make you beg for life yet unable to die!" Cha Wenliang said sinisterly.
Xue An smiled, suddenly saying, "No need to rush me out, I will leave after asking a few questions, first of all, the first... ."
Xue An’s eyes sparkled, "What is the significance of you creating souls?"
"Why should I answer you?" Cha Wenliang sneered.
